MIPCOM Spotlight: SOMOS Distribution

CANNES: Until I Met You, presented by SOMOS Distribution, tells the story of noted Mexican singer Juan Gabriel, who participated in the production of the miniseries.

The project is a collaboration between SOMOS Productions and Disney Media Distribution Latin America. “This story will allow the audience to see [Juan Gabriel’s] life from childhood to superstardom,” says Luis Villanueva, the president and CEO of SOMOS Distribution. “It is a captivating story about the challenges in his life and his unparalleled artistry.”

The distributor also arrives at the market with an array of Turkish dramas it hopes to sell across Latin America, including Kanal D offerings such as Mercy, Gumus and The Outsiders. Other dramas being showcased are A Love Story from Calinos and several TRT titles, among them The Poor Boy and the Rich Girl and Old Story.

“We have a well-cemented reputation as a distributor that can open markets and handle non-traditional content,” says Villanueva.
